Chiefs fan reunites with team that saved her after blood clots sent her from "13 seconds" to the ER
Thursday marked an incredible reunion for 23-year-old Amanda Steinbach.
It all started in January 2022, during that crazy Chiefs-Bills '' Divisional Round playoff game.
The then-21-year-old was watching her favorite football team when she started having trouble breathing.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I thought it was just anxiety, and then it turns out a couple of hours later it was not!" Steinbach tole KMBC 9 with a laugh.
When the shortness of breath didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t stop, Steinbach바카라 게임 웹사이트s parents rushed her to the emergency room at St. Luke's East Hospital.
바카라 게임 웹사이트My blood pressure was low," she recalled.
Scans showed she had a massive blood clot and thousands of smaller clots in her lungs.
바카라 게임 웹사이트She had an acute pulmonary embolism," Dr. Jacob Shepherd with St. Luke바카라 게임 웹사이트s Health Systems shared.
Doctors said it was a life-threatening condition. According to Shepard, she was nearly in respiratory failure when she came to the hospital.
The 1,000-plus blood clots were terrifying for Steinbach and her family.
On Thursday, the 23-year-old returned to where she spent more than a month in 2022, St. Luke's on the plaza. She developed good friendships with several nurses who helped her through the challenging event. That바카라 게임 웹사이트s why she wanted to come back and thank them.

"Just want to thank everybody because they truly did save my life," Steinbach said.
